What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first new 3D entry in the series since 1999's Donkey Kong 64 on the Nintendo 64. A central gameplay feature is a dynamic digging ability, allowing Donkey Kong to pound and smash his way down into the earth or through cliff faces. The reveal trailer suggests a wealth of secrets and treasures are hidden beneath the surface.

Although a significant portion of the gameplay unfolds underground, players will explore diverse settings including lush forests, deep canyons, tropical lagoons, and icy tundras. Staying true to the franchise's roots, the game also incorporates classic side-scrolling segments and frantic mine cart rides. It promises to be an exhilarating experience.
